I have LG S1 and I know that it comes with 1GB Ram (2*512) but out of curiosity I decided to open the Ram Panel underneath the laptop and only one Slot holding 512 ram I can see there!!![]()
I know its weird question but,
Where is the other 512 MB Ram slot located?
If I decided to install 2GB Ram (2*1GB) how I can do that if I can't see the other Ram Slot??![]()

I'm not sure about this, but the RAM slot may be under the keyboard. Some manufacturers and notebooks have the RAM slot under the keyboard for some strange reason. It may also be that it is under the notebook, in some other place. Perhaps under a seperate panel. Before checking to make sure that the slot isn't under the keyboard, have a look at the manual for the notebook. It may say in there where it is. Hope this helps.

Thanks Zero for the reply,
There isnt any manual that came with it except few papers regarding the TPM device and how to start your laptop!!
I downloaded the e-User's Guide but I didnt find any thing related to my issue.. I guess your assumption might be correct although it's kind of unusual and unpractical to have different places for the Ram(s) since it's the most upgradeable part in any laptop . -
Hmm you sure there isnt another RAM slot under that one? The Dell I got here has one slot ontop of the other.
-
Yes I'm sure cuz i toke off the Ram to check if the other one in underneath...
-
mmmmhhh I'm gonna check mine tomorrow.

^^
please do so and give us your feedback -
The secondary slot is under the keyboard.
-
so uh how do you upgrade the RAM then? what do you have to do to upgrade?

LG_Man said everything
I was wondering, how can i clean the left fan?
I know i should use compressed air, but i need to remove the keyboard right? -
Yes it is under the keyboard just make sure you buy the proper ram and make sure they are in pairs for dual channel.
M12864F50 Kingston last time i checked it was $199 just make sure it's 667mhz -
Thanks guys for clearing up this matter...

Um but what about such things as latency and memory timings? if the RAM you buy is has more relaxed timings then you would be losing on performance. 1-2% is rather general, it would much greatly depend on the system. In the past dual channel may not have been a big issue but Im sure the impact is much greater now in modern setups. Compatibility may also been an issue here as can be the case more often than you think.

However, dual channel will help a small amount in top class systems that have the newest and fastest components. It is not an increase that will help all circumstances, such as playing a game, but it will benfit those applications were the memory is intensively used. Yes, games use a lot of memory, however, they are more dependant on the speed of which the memory runs, and not how much data can be transmitted between the system bus, and the memory.
S1 have 1GB ram, but I only see 512
